Well, I'd say the Evo IX was.

My favorite was the AWD Eclipse but that was technically an american car with a Mitsu drivetrain.

That's just an optical illusion, right? Surely the rear wheels aren't smaller than the front ones?

I think it is an illusion.

It will be remembered as Mitsu's Swan Song.

The front fender is bigger to allow better clearance.
Because rally car.

They'll be fine for a bit. Their commercial vehicles are still pretty good.

You know what's the worst:

Evo VIs were sold as LHD in Germany/France/Italy/Spain and could've likely passed US EPA/Crash Standards

But Mitsubishi got spooked by low sales of the 3000GT VR4 and decided to not bother importing it.

Japanese Car industry in general going to shit

>>16312805
The only thing Subaru is better than Mitsubishi at is mounting their engines in an arbitrary direction that pleases /o/tists who otherwise don't really have any idea what they're talking about.
